As much as we'd like to, it is difficult to make new solutions competitive in the market. A lot of funding does go into perfecting "greener" or more sustainable technologies, it just takes a while. We tend to forget that there's a big step between a scientific discovery and a real world solution. This looks like it's well on it's way to becoming a real world solution, but in order to be practical it needs to be scalable and profitable, which maybe it isn't yet.
